Honestly I did not expect that much from that wine, younger it was very interesting, nicely sweet and a bit oaky... left some in the cellar and BOOm, Shazam... honestly one of the best pinot s of the year so far... It has a distinctive « fumé » aftertaste that reminds of the best Cru of Vosne, last that did that was la Grande Rue 2018 in spring... this tells a lot... nose of cranberries, spicy, piquante :) the palate without being huge is refined and lingers, with those nice charcoal and smokiness at th end... my friend says reduction of meet juices... to me the WOTN without a doubt

Had this the other night so the note is from memory. Nose of red cherry, a little bit of orange peel and underbrush. Was a bit angular at first, but after a couple of hours in the decanter it really smoothed out. About two hours in, this bottle was great. light/medium bodied on the palate, with some nice acidity backing it up. Can definitely go a few more years. Really solid.

(Archery Summit Premier Cuvee Pinot Noir Willamette Valley) Leaps up from the glass with strawberry, cherry, freshly pressed white and pink grapefruit, celery root, and cedar. The palate is all about elegance and delicacy in its styling with lithe fruit flavors and beautifully integrated tannins that should allow this wine age nicely in the cellar. 100% Pinot Noir. Arcus (50%), Red Hills (20%), Archer’s Edge (15%), Looney (7%), Renegade (5%) and Archery Summit vineyards. Aged 10 months in French oak (33% new). 13.0% alcohol. Sample provided by winery.

Decanted one hour.
Huge, earthy nose.
Needs more time on the palate. After another hour, opened nicely.
Could use a bit more fruit for balance.

Visit to Willamette Vally (Oregon): Nice value. Easy red fruit, slight dried roses. Touch of spice.
